Go Fish

Go Fish is a simple card matching game, most often played by children, in which players ask one another for cards of a specific rank to complete sets of four, and if the player asked does not hold that rank, the asker draws a card from a central stock pile and says go fish. It belongs to a broader older family of matching and asking card games, and while its precise origin and naming history are not well documented, it has long been one of the most commonly taught first card games for young children in English-speaking countries because of its simple, purely luck-and-memory-based rules.
